That’s still a pathetic time. It means we don’t know who the fastest really is.
This is such a bad take. Mario has a 3:53 PR from this season, number two in the NCAA, in a race he won easily. Likely has faster in him. Second place, Morgan Beadlescomb, is the fastest miler in the NCAA this year at 3:52. So the top two guys have the two fastest times in the country.
He’s run 3:35.79 too. He could win a fast race too. Best man on the day controlled it and won. Credit to Reed Brown for a brilliant tactical race, he nearly stole 2nd.

Criticizing a critic, as always an idiotic take. The race went the way it went and the winner won. Does the OP think beadlescome is the actual champ bc he ran the fastest this season?
FYI, Beamish won a similar race a couple years ago and he’s turning into a good pro.
One person ran a very good race. Everyone else sucked. If they didn't like the pace, they could have changed that and gone to the front. They didn't. Too bad, so sad.
A one lap race with a 3 lap warm up. Is that a "mile" race?
Are there any rules about how fast the first 3 laps need to be run in a mile race?
No there aren't. But at what point do you say a 3-lap dawdle followed by a one-lap sprint is a quality mile race? "Tactical" races (read, super slow) are often not tactical races. They are merely races where no one wants to lead or challenge the field and it is all left to a sprint. That hardly requires tactical thinking. Or balls.
